Well done Kiawah Island Resort on an Excellent PGA Championship!

Posted on August 15, 2012 by Donnie Whitaker

First let me start by saying how fortunate I feel to have had the chance to attend the PGA Championship on Kiawah Island. I was lucky enough to be able to make it out for two days of golf on one of America’s most beautiful and tough courses, the Ocean Course.

The event was well organized from start to finish.  It wasn’t nearly as bad getting in and out as I thought it would be, and fortunately I had friends staying in the resort for the week gracious enough to provide me with an entry parking pass, place to leave my car (for free), and a pool to cool down in afterwards. It was my first time attending a PGA event and it was really cool to see all the players in person. I managed to sneak in a few photos that I wanted to share.

Again, great job Kiawah Island Resort on a very well run event!

Custom built with a VIEW short sale opportunity on the Isle of Palms

Posted on July 20, 2012 by Donnie Whitaker

 

2901 Palm Blvd
Isle of Palms, SC 29451
List Price – $1,338,800

Palm Blvd with a view listed for $1,338,800. That’s right. I have been watching and waiting for this home to hit the market for sometime now. I actually have interest in this home because a client of mine put it under contract mid 2010. The deal didn’t work which I want go into and the listing was withdrawn from the market. I knew it would pop back up at some point.

This home was custom built in 2005 by who I assume to be a local builder. It shows a lot of craftsmanship throughout and has features such as a infinity edge pool (drained and will need work) and a sauna in the Master Bedroom. Although it is second row, there are great ocean views from many angles. Unfortunately the home was neglected and will need some work to get it back up and running, but overall its in pretty good shape.  The asking price is a pre-approved price from Bank of America and fairly competitive. Similar homes in the last year have so respectfully for $1.3 million and $1.4 million.  There is definitely opportunity here for a good buy to the savvy investor looking to get in below market value and generate good rental income.

I have provided a link for more information here….and of course please feel free to contact me for more information or to see.
